Movies Review: Khiladi 786

2012-12-13T03:04:00.001-08:00

Movies Review: Khiladi 786: Bollywood movies with some Punjabiness makes a perfect fit for audience to enjoy. But, movie like Son Of Sardaar and Khiladi 786 to some extent proved that its time for Bollywood to think again before making such movies.

Akshay Kumar (Bahattar Singh) plays the role of a person who always declares: Punjabi na toh chup chaap aate hain, na chup chaap jaate hain. Bahattar Singh is not able to find a wife for himself. Himesh Reshammiya plays a Gujarati wedding organiser who struggles to help his father in wedding business. He then tries to pair Bahattar Singh with the sister of underworld don TTT or Tatya Tukaram Tendulkar (Mithun Chakraborty) i.e. Asin.

Akshay Kumar's acting is same like his Khiladi movie in the past. Asin plays a good role with surprisingly good acting by Himesh.

On the whole, this movie has a good humor in the first half which keeps audience involved in it. However, 2nd half is much focused on story rather than comedy. Bollywood Paradise gives Khiladi 786 2.8+ stars out of 5.

Movies Review: Son of Sardaar

2012-12-03T09:47:00.002-08:00

Movies Review: Son of Sardaar: Son of Sardaar is the worst comedy movie of 2012. You will hardly find any humor in the movie.

Ajay Devgn's tried to oversmart with his action sequences in the movie, but they proved crude in technical finesse. Some scenes like Punjabi hero’s unfurling turban, looking exactly like glossy paper, hero playing with villains like tennis ball bouncing him up and down makes you feel what the heck is happening.

Ajay Devgn (Jassi) returns from London to sell his ancestral land in village. His family has had a history of violence against the village’s family, led by Billu (Sanjay Dutt). Billu keeps on awaiting for the return of Jassi to take avenge. Billu vowed not to marry Juhi Chawla (Pammi) before he kills Jassi. Then Jassi meets Sukh (Sonakshi Sinha), Billu’s younger sister, and they fall in love with each other. Then starts the rubbish and meaningless story with only motive to cover songs and make it a 2 hrs 20 min movie.

Ajay Devgn's acting after his hit movie Singham makes you think about his potential. Same is the case with Sanjay Dutt here. Juhi Chawla's & Sonakshi's acting impresses audience to some extent. Salman has a short role in the beginning of the movie. You will feel like you are watching Salman type meaningless movie.

On the whole, Son of Sardaar is the worst movie in 2012, which leaves other meaningless movies like Bodyguard and Ready behind it. You will keep on waiting for some comedy scenes in the movie. However, SOS is not so lengthy movie, but you will be forced to leave the multiplex in advance before its completion. Bollywood Paradise gives Son Of Sardaar 1.5 stars out of 5.

Movies Review: Talaash

2012-11-30T06:47:00.003-08:00

Movies Review: Talaash: Talaash is a simple suspense film without an edge-of-the-seat experience.

The movie starts with a car accident leading to the death of a famous film actor. A random road accident takes the shape of a murder mystery with Inspector Shekhawat (Aamir Khan) investigating the case. Shekhawat is unhappy in his personal life and holds himself responsible for the death of his 8-year old son, which results in a strained relationship with his wife (Rani Mukherji). Then he meets Rosy (Kareena Kapoor), a sex worker who helps him in his case.

The movie revolves around two fundamental tracks - Shekhawat's accident investigation and his personal exploration due to death of his son. One expects the two tracks to correlate with each other right from the start to make it one whole story, but they stay independent of each other till the end.

There is no stylized action with no item numbers in the movie. In the second half, there is a bonding track between Aamir and Kareena which makes audience feel where the film is heading towards.

Aamir Khan acts brilliant with his professional and personal roles. On the one side, he is strong with commanding cops at work, and on the other he is a vulnerable man at home. Rani Mukherji also acts good in her role of a woman who has come out of a personal tragedy. Kareena Kapoor looks appealing, but she seems to be in the Chameli character hangover. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is perfect in his role and Rajkumar Yadav as subordinate to Aamir also impresses.

The identity of the accident suspect can be guessed by the audience, so there is a lack of big suspense in the movie. The sense of suspense seems suspended from the movie.

There are some mystery and suspense elements in the movie, which makes the movie a one-time watch. But if you are looking to watch a finest suspense thriller, you will be surely be disappointed with Talaash. On the whole, Bollywood Paradise gives Talaash 3.2+ stars out of 5.

Movies Review: Jab Tak Hai Jaan

2012-11-15T05:35:00.002-08:00

Movies Review: Jab Tak Hai Jaan: Nowadays, love stories mean instant breakups and sex before love. Its heartening to see a full-blown story with romance showing good old values with a advanced outlook.

Shah Rukh Khan as Samar Anand continues his charm of romantic roles and wooing girls who are already engaged. Samar Anand is a smalltime labour in London and Meera (Katrina Kaif) belongs to a millionaire family. They fall in love with each other and when everything seems to be going in favor of them, an accident separates the lovers. After many years, a documentary filmmaker Akira (Anushka Sharma) meets Samar, who is now a bomb-squad officer and also falls in love with him. When Samar comes to London for helping Akira, another accident changes his life.

The first half of the movie is all about love and romance between SRK and Katrina, filled with songs at regular intervals. Second half of the movie starts with amazing performance by Anushka as modern generation girl. Her performance keeps the audience involved in the movie.

Shah Rukh as always lives up to expectations as a romantic hero. His charm in the first half wins hearts of every girl. Katrina also tried to impress audience with her romantic avtaar and succeeded in her attempt also. Anushka's charm wins heart of audience and her acting can be rated as best in the movie.

The film's structure is like Yash Chopra's earlier movie Veer-Zaara, where the lovers remain separated for many years, didn't get married and then another woman helps in bringing them together. This Yash Chopra's love story is essentially desi at heart with some advancement.

On the whole, first half of the movie is bit stretched and sometimes can make you bore due to regular inclusion of songs, but second half keeps audience involved due to good story. We give Jab Tak Hai Jaan 3.9+ stars out of 5.

Movies Review: Aiyyaa

2012-10-22T06:45:00.002-07:00

Movies Review: Aiyyaa: The movie is an expression of surprise in Marathi. Unfortunately it turns out to be a shock in Hindi. The movie is boring and can put you to sleep.

Meenakshi (Rani Mukherji) is an average Marathi girl from Pune and her middle-class family is in search of a groom for her. Meenakshi starts liking Surya (Prithviraj) plainly because he smells good. Surya is an artist in his own world and is indifferent towards everything. After much dreams by Meenakshi, Aiyyaa ends up in a situation where the girl runs away from her mandap to be with the man of his dream and finally gets him.

There is no chemistry between the couple except the sensuously shot dreamy item songs. Every attempt by the director has been made to add humour, but it falls flat miserably.

Rani Mukherji adds extra energy in the movie with her acting skills, but you will certainly stop rooting for her character after a while. Prithviraj is emotionless with few dialogues in the movie. Subodh Bhave as Rani's future husband is decent in his role. Ameya Wagh as the younger brother acts good in his role.

Aiyyaa turns out to a shock with the story much over stretched. The songs are the only plus point in the movie. Bollywood Paradise gives Aiyyaa 1.5 stars out of 5!

Movies Review: Barfi!

2012-09-17T02:54:00.002-07:00

Movies Review: Barfi: Barfi is Anurag Basu's most imaginative movie ever. This movie has proved that the hit movie doesn't always require top Khans, but the story and actors' performances can do the work.

Barfi! proves that Ranbir is surely going to climb the ladder of success in a short time. His performance is inspired from many top-rated personalities like Charlie Chaplin, Monsieur Hulot, Raj Kapoor and Kishore Kumar.

The film is shot mostly in Darjeeling. The movie ends in a love triangle, which is much different from regular Bollywood types. This triangle is sweet, sublime and differently told. There is little bit of mystery factor involved in this story too.

In Darjeeling lives the deaf and mute Barfi (Ranbir), who never runs out of goofy ideas. He meets Shruti (Ileana DâCruz), daughter of a rich Kolkata household, and both fell in love with each other. However, Shruti is already engaged and soon going to be married and also not able decide who to choose.

Barfi's father falls ill forcing him to resort to crime, making the entry of Priyanka Chopra as the autistic Jhilmil as she belongs to a rich family.

Priyanka's and Ranbir's performances are surely their best ever performances till now. Ileana also leaves a great impression on the audience in her debut role.

Barfi! is a pleasant and different art film, which may not appeal universal audience. The movie can be definitely rated 5 out 5 acting wise. However, its story is bit stretched and gets confusing sometimes also. On the whole, TRP gives Barfi! 3.7+ stars out of 5.

Movies Review: Raaz 3

2012-09-08T04:20:00.003-07:00

Movies Review: Raaz 3: The movie is about hatred and jealousy between the two actresses, which forces one to use black magic over the other to gain stardom back in the industry.

Shanaya (Bipasha Basu) is a top actress who is falling slowly off the heights of stardom, while new aspirant Sanjana (Esha Gupta) is taking her position and winning awards. To save her career, self-obsessed Shanaya is ready to do anything. She loses god-faith and risks her love director boyfriend Aditya (Emraan Hashmi). She uses Kali Vidya (black magic), tantra-mantra, and seduces her boyfriend to partner-in-crime. Sanjana then starts getting haunted by spells of black magic, and loses her mind and heart. After watching Sanjana passing through such horrors, Aditya leaves Shanaya and starts helping Sanjana to gain freedom from black magic.

The storyline of the movie is fairly simple. The director Vikram Bhatt uses horror show scenes in 3D, with elements like the usual fog, kabrastans to make audience involved in the movie. The music of the movie is not like a regular Bhatts camp movie, which always remain on the top of the chart.

Bipasha looks scarily amazing in her role. This role is best suited for her. Emraan shows different shades in the movie and acts fine in the movie. Esha Gupta attracts the audience again after Jannat-2 movie with her strong emotional scenes.

On the whole, Raaz-3 is a entertaining movie with some strong horror scenes in the first half, while the second half of the movie is much focused on the story line up. If you want to enjoy horror scenes, go and watch movie in 3D. The movie is a one-time watch. TRP gives Raaz-3, 3+ stars out of 5!

Movies Review: The Expendables 2

2012-08-27T07:43:00.000-07:00

Movies Review: The Expendables 2: The movie is a full action-packed movie with famous action heroes. The movie surpasses the first version because of strong thrills and action performances.

Sylvester Stallone and his band of persons are assigned a mission to retrieve a cache of plutonium before it falls into the hands some rivals. Female actress Nan Yu gets added in the group to give some help. The story takes a turn when rivals attack the group and kill one of their members.

There are many macho heavyweights in the movie including Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Jet Li etc. Sylvester Stallone displays the strongest performance in the movie with his strong acting skills and action performances. There are strong action sequences including martial arts actions, and strong action scenes from helicopters to jet skis.

Every actor in the movie has been given enough screen time to display their performance and talent. On the whole, The Expendables-2 is a good short-duration movie, which will attract action-lovers. The movie can be said as a one-time watch. TRP gives The Expendables-2, 3 stars out of 5.

Movies Review: Ek Tha Tiger

2012-08-20T11:16:00.001-07:00

Movies Review: Ek Tha Tiger: The movie is about a RAW agent (Salman Khan) who falls in love with Zoya (Katrina Kaif) while being on a mission. The movie is not like Salman's past mindless comedies and inflated action flicks. However, this movie under Yash Raj banner, directed by Kabir Khan is a sober and bit sensible than others.

Tiger (Salman Khan) goes to Dublin for a mission to keep an eye on a science professor. He meets Zoya (Katrina Kaif) there and unexpectedly falls in love with her. But, Zoya also turns out be an undercover mission sent by ISI Pakistan. Then starts the conflict in Tiger's mind to choose between love and duty.

The movie is well balanced story, including love story and the spy drama. The movie has many action scenes choreographed by Hollywood stunt coordinator Conrad Palmisano. Not many of the scenes are of that variety where a dozen goons go flying in the air. But there are some overacted scenes like when Tiger jumps to a flying plane from a bike. Action scenes by Katrina Kaif are also done with full perfection.

Salman Khan after a long time is seen in a movie with a good story and acts best. Katrina Kaif as always is gorgeous and shows good acting as well as action skills. Ranvir Shorey as Salman's associate of RAW also gives a good supporting cast.

On the whole, Ek Tha Tiger is Salman Khan's best movie in recent times. Hope this movie provides him some cues to choose good stories in the future. The movie will mostly keep you involved in it and can be said as a one-time watch. TRP rates Ek Tha Tiger 3.2+ stars out of 5.

Movies Review: Jism-2

2012-08-06T02:45:00.001-07:00

Movies Review: Jism-2: Jism-2 is a sexy movie with a good story. However, the movie is not as dirty as one is expecting.

The movie starts with a hot scene by Izna (Sunny Leone) in all red lingerie. Ayaan (Arunoday Singh) is an intelligence bureau who offers Izna to work in a special task for the bureau. Ayaan and his superior officer Guru Saldanah (Zakaria) offers her 10 crores to get data from Kabir (Randeep Hooda), her former lover, through her sex appeal. Kabir went from an honest cop to political assassin and becomes insane.

Ayaan and Izna pretends to be engaged and lives next door to Kabir, who is hiding out as a musician in Galle, Sri Lanka. During the act, Ayaan also falls in love with Izna.

Sunny Leone sometimes acts nice with her cute smile, but also fails sometimes to deliver with her acting skills. She seals the movie with a strong closing line. Randeep Hooda's acting is the strongest in the movie. After his strong act in this movie, he can be in the major league for one of the best future actors. His strong voice with perfect diction is his major plus point. Arunoday Singh sometimes overacts in the movie, specially when he confesses his love for Izna

Jism-2 has also a suspense in the end, when Izna learns some new facts about Intelligence Bureau.

Its not only a movie about sex, it's a movie with a strong story also. TRP gives Jism 2 4- stars out of 5!
